Featuring a huge, west-facing deck and an impressive wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that gaze out to the sound, this exquisite rental surrounds you with the spectacular beauty of the Pacific Northwest at every turn.
This home is located on the horseshoe-shaped Orcas Island, the largest of the remote San Juan Islands. You'll be three miles from the village of Eastsound, whose historic streets are lined with charming cafes and art galleries, along with a scenic harbor where you can sign up for a sea kayak tour or whale watching expedition.

If you're here in the summer, head out to the enormous deck, where you can grill some burgers on the BBQ and bask in the peaceful views of East Sound as the sun sets in the west. When the weather turns cold, curl up inside in front of the wood stove with a good book or a board game, or use the free WiFi to stream a movie on your laptop.

Great location to downtown shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms. Loved the neighborhood.
Great quiet serene beautiful view! Nice and clean! Enjoyed our three nights! Well worth it!
The place had a great view, very spacious and comfortable.
The setting was wonderful and the view was ever changing and beautiful.
We've been here 3 years in a row now with the kids and we absolutely love it. We'll be back again next year for sure. It's a sanctuary for your sanity, if you're looking to get away from the crowd and enjoy some peace and quiet. But it's also close enough to town if you need to get groceries or want to go out to dinner.
Great cabin that lets your really feel like you're away from it all, but still close enough to businesses and restaurants. Worked well for the 4 adults on the trip. There road does get a little questionable after leaving the main highway, but nothing that a standard SUV or truck couldn't handle.
Had an enjoyable vacation with my family. Spectacular views of the water with lots of windows. Quiet neighborhood with everything we needed. Liked the collection of board games and vintage radio. What fun!
Absolutely incredible stay, we arrived and didn’t want to leave the gorgeous view. Beds were very comfortable, everything is well stocked, games and puzzles. Cozy place close to beach, state park, grocery etc. We hope to return.
This property is beautiful and the view is amazing. Great space inside, clean, and well-stocked. Check in was easy. The deck is great. Would stay again.
The views and accommodations were wonderful!
We traveled with two young kids and we enjoyed our stay. Best part of the house is the view. Honestly it’s more beautiful than we imagined. The big west facing windows make the view accessible from most parts of the house but the downside is that the heat can be stifling during a WA heatwave. The property only has one ceiling fan and a stand alone fan. We struggled to keep everyone cool, especially the young kids. I wish the house provided some sort of shade option, even some curtains or one more fan could have helped. If it was just adults we wouldn’t have minded at all but it would have made our stay 5 stars!
House was very clean and quite spacious The instructions for entering the house were inaccurate. Told to use lock box but there is a keypad on the door that took up to 6 tries to open. The listing said TV but it would only work to play DVD,s. There need to be clearer instructions including which remote works. Great pillows, very firm beds and living room and loft seating were not very comfortable. Need more flatware in the kitchen. The road was described as needing 4 wheel drive. We did ok with our AWD forester but it was very dry. I would not want to attempt this road once the rains start.
Amazingly beautiful and so very homey. We had a wonderful time and would love to return someday!
The view across the sound is beautiful throughout the day through the almost floor to ceiling windows in the living room and the large kitchen window. Sunset is spectacular! The kitchen is so well equipped from vegetable peeler to stock pot to baking pans! Each room was decorated with style making it feel just like home! Lovely!
Beautiful home. Outstanding view. Clean and comfortable. Private, very quiet. Road to it is not to bad if you have all wheel drive.
The view was true to ad - absolutely beautiful! The drive up was steep but doable without 4WD. Very remote area but only 10 minutes to Eastsound. We would definitely stay again.
The owner obviously has great taste and the home was very well decorated and well kept. It was very clean. The sunsets each evening of our three day stay were different but beautiful. I would suggest adding miniblinds to the west facing windows as the warm weather did lead to some warm times in the living room and MBR, but this was manageable. Overall we would definitely recommend Sunsets Over Water as a great place to get away from the bustle of the city. Mark and Dana
Up in the trees, the sunset and view can't be beat. A lovely retreat that we'll come back to again.
My family and I had a great time at Sunsets Over Water! The view was spectacular, and the location was close to everything on Orcas Island (while being super quiet and secluded at the same time!). I typically get very scared on uphill gravel drives, but this one wasn't bad. Definitely have an AWD while staying here. We utilized all the games, puzzles, and additional amenities this cabin had to offer. I worked from home a few days during our stay and the wifi was great! Would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Orcas.
We absolutely loved this cabin. Everything about it was perfect. Loved the layout and view from deck. Loved the trails and gated garden. Quiet and beautiful. Hope to go again next year
The deer head needed to be dusted as well as a few other places. Cobwebs were hanging from the deer antlers. I don't require constant text messages to remind me of things especially checking out. At times, I felt I was being surveilled
This cabin was in a perfect secluded getaway area with a great view of the other islands. The area is very quiet. The cabin itself is so cute and well done. The washer and dryer was a godsend for a family with two kids! The location of the cabin is very close to the Eastsound “downtown” , so it allowed for the ability for a breakfast or dinner if you didn’t want to cook.
Absolutely stunning view from this property, which is tucked away on a mountainside. The sunsets- incredible. Perfect stay for 6 people. Only one thing I’d change is more cutlery and water glasses.
Doesn’t get better in terms of peace and quiet. Views are amazing from deck, living room and one of downstairs bedrooms. Nice to have a sauna. Very comfortable bed. Well stocked kitchen. Limited toiletries. The drive up is narrow and AWD does provide more confidence, but can be done with a 2WD vehicle.
The house was very accommodating and comfortable! We didn't see a TV or screen to stream so we read or explored Eastsound and Doe Bay and Mt Constitution. Everything was close by or not far so travel was minimal. The restaurants were excellent! As long as you have all wheel drive, you can make the drive to the house, even the driveway. Bring your own matches or lighter for the fireplace and the trick to keeping that burning was to leave the door ajar about an inch; otherwise, without a damper, the fire goes out. Also - the garbage disposal does not work. We would stay here again! Loved it!
